Balloons are one of the many consumable items in Fortnite. Their use is simple, they are used to fly and glide while we can aim and shoot at enemies. In total, we can use up to three balloons.
Balloons use
If we place three balloons, we will automatically fly up to the height limit of Fortnite, at this point, one of our balloons will explode, and we will start descending with two balloons. If we only use one or two balloons, our character will spend more time in the air every time we jump from a high place, but in the end, we will always end up on the solid ground.
Balloons are not only useful to reach high places (the top of a mountain, for example), but they can also help us to avoid getting hurt if we fall. Balloons explode if we are shot; this is the only way to get rid of them.
With three balloons you can fly until one of them bursts
Strategies using balloons
Some players take advantage of the use of balloons to use very specific weapons that do not require too much aiming, such as rocket launchers or explosive bows. It should be noted that while we are flying or gliding with the balloons, we can move anywhere, making it very difficult for opponents to shoot us accurately.
Despite the advantages of the balloons, we should not be confident; while using them we have no possible protection, so if they start shooting at us, we can not build or place ourselves behind an object, as it happens when we are on the ground.
Balloons are available in Fortnite’s creative mode
Are balloons available in Fortnite?
Balloons, like many other consumable items, are not always available in the Battle Royale modes of Fortnite. Throughout a season, they may appear and disappear along with many other items and weapons. They are always available in the creative mode, a mode in which Epic Games does not usually remove weapons or objects.
